श्री-परीक्षिद् उवाच�
प्रयत्नात् स्वस्थता� नीतो ब्रह्मणा � खगेश्वरः �
विशारद-वर� पृष्ठे मन्द� मन्द� न्यधत्� तौ � १० �

śrī-parīkṣid uvāca
prayatnāt svasthatā� nīto brahmaṇ� sa khageśvara� |
ś岹-vara� pṛṣṭhe manda� manda� nyadhatta tau || 10 ||

Śī ʲīṣi said: Śī ṛṣṇa and Śī began to regain their composure by the efforts of Śī . Then Ҳḍa, the king of birds, slowly and carefully placed them upon his back.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Because Śī Ҳḍa so expertly detects the intentions of Śī and acts accordingly to remove the swoon of 󲹲, he addresses him as ś岹-vara, the most superior of skillful persons. Therefore, the highly adept Śī Ҳḍajī made Śī ṛṣṇa and Śī 峾 carefully sit upon his back.
